Applied Nanotechnology

An overview of nanotechnology that encompasses scientific, technological, economic
and social issues - investigating the potential of nanotechnology to transform
whole sectors of industry from healthcare to energy. Jeremy Ramsden provides
a blueprint for those involved in the commercialization of nanotechnology.

In Applied Nanotechnology Professor Ramsden takes an integrated approach to
the scientific, commercial and social aspects of nanotechnology, exploring:

The relationship between nanotechnology and innovation

The changing economics and business models required to commercialize innovations
in nanotechnology

Product design challenges - investigated through case studies

Applications in various sectors, including composite materials, energy
and agriculture

The role of government in promoting nanotechnology

The potential future of molecular self-assembly in industrial production

The ethics and social implications of nanotechnology

As well as providing business models and practical examples of the innovation
process, this book offers a vision of the role of nanotechnology in confronting
the challenges facing humanity, from healthcare to climate change.

This book is an overview of the strategies to generate high-quality films of one-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures on flexible substrates (e.g., plastics) and the use of them as building blocks to fabricating flexible devices (including electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, power systems).

In this book Professor Richard Leach, of the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) makes a significant contribution to standardization in the field of MNT, extending the principles of engineering metrology to the micro- and nanoscale, with a focus on dimensional and mass metrology.

This book focuses on the industrial perspective for micro- and nanofabrication methods including large-scale manufacturing, transfer of concepts from lab to factory, process tolerance, yield, robustness, and cost.

This book provides an important and in-depth guide to the applications and impact of nanotechnology to different manufacturing sectors. As such, it will find a broad readership, from R&D scientists and engineers to venture capitalists.

Unlocks the technologies that will turn the rapidly growing research area of nanophotonics into a major area of commercial development, with applications in telecommunications, computing, security and sensing.

DR. Madeline J. Dukes, an Application Scientist from Protochips talks to AZoNano about their range of products, that are pushing the boundaries for laboratories who in the past where challenged when it came to in situ TEM tools.

SEM-Base® VI is considered to be the next generation in STACIS active piezoelectric vibration cancellation. The design of the SEM-Base VI allows it to support all commercial Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), and also many Small Dual Beam and Focused Ion Beam (FIB) instruments.

The eLINE Plus from Raith is the optimum, extensively distributed system for Research Centers and Universities that want to integrate an Electron Beam Lithography system with an open platform for additional optional nanofabrication processes and methods in a single tool.

A Life Scientist wants to be able to see how biological materials look like at nanoscale resolution and how soft they are in buffer and liquid conditions. The Park NX-Bio enables that with its highly acclaimed Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technology and its innovative in-liquid imaging Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM).
